Filipovic Doubles Through Gradinaru, Leaves Him Crippled
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gheorghe Gradinaru opened to 18,000 from the hijack and action folded around to Goran Filipovic, who three-bet all in for 206,000 from the small blind. Gradinaru quickly called and the two awaited play to finish on other tables.
Goran Filipovic:
Gheorghe Gradinaru:
The inevitable cooler situation had arisen for Gradinaru, who found his second-best possible starting hand to also be the second-best hand before the flop. He did not improve as the board ran out and Filipovic doubled, leaving Gradinaru short as bubble play continues.
